I’m currently reading the novel ‘Super Sad True Love Story ‘ by Gary Shteyngart (on my Kindle). In this inventive, nostalgic, immigrant novel set in the near future, the hero or anti-hero clings on to an old-fashioned love for books. The kind of books that are made of paper that you pick up and put down, independent of battery power or wireless connection. Most of the rest of the people in the world of this novel don’t seem to share this book-love, however. In fact, to them books ’smell’ and carry an anti-social status. People in the novel instead prefer to consult, or read from, their ‘äppäräts’, devices which can live-stream their owners’ thoughts and conversations, as well as, amongst other things, broadcast their “hotness” to others. This would appear to be enough for them and their reading or data consuming interest. So,with this electronic reading future beckoning, or some other version of it, I thought it was time to review my own electronic book reading experience to date. Two months in to exclusively reading from a kindle, and like the novel’s (anti-) hero,I’m definitely suffering from a bit of book nostalgia. I’m missing the books that we’ve all been reading from since…well since books were invented. But leaving aside the nostalgia for a few moments, how would I sum up the difference between a book read and an e-book (Kindle) read? I’ll start with what I see as the pro-kindle party position.

There was a lot of buzz about The Hangover 2 despite it received a 35 rating on Rotten Tomatoes They describe it as a ldquocrueler darker raunchier carbon copy of the first installmentrdquo Something the trailer more than hints at (view here) Nonetheless the success of the first film means the sequel is guaranteed to sell the same amount of tickets if not more
The UKrsquos answer to Jersey Shore - Geordie Shore - has appeared in the entertainment searches as has the producer MTV Despite the success of shows such as The Osbournes Jackass Punkrsquod My Super Sweet Sixteen and Jersey Shore the lsquosituationrsquo for MTV is that it actually has been in a steady decline since at least 2004

Keith Wallace Account PlannerWhat is your role in Mindshare
Irsquom a media planner for Heineken and Ubisoft
Whatrsquos your favourite campaign recently
I liked a recent outdoor ad for Mars It depicts one
guy standing alone on a beach getting ready to
surf He has the surfboard gripped in his whilst
watching the waves break The surfboard is the
main focus and has obviously seen better days with
numerous shark bites taken out of it Itrsquos for their ad
campaign lsquoGet Back on Trackrsquo Itrsquos obviously very
lad orientated gives Mars an edgier side and stands out from the crowd
Twitter or Facebook
Facebook at the moment It is great for keeping in touch with all my friends that have
emigrated in recent years to countries such as Canada and Australia It also comes in
very handy when meeting up with up with friends while traveling I have a twitter
account but am slowly beginning to use it
Any changes in media you are keeping an eye on
Irsquom really interested in the integration of all areas of media and to see how the
biggest and most successful campaigns will use and innovate it in the coming years
